TDG Gold Corp.
TDG Gold Corp. holds 100% of roughly 50,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield ground in the Toodoggone copper-gold-silver district of north-central British Columbia. The company initiated a Preliminary Economic Assessment for its Shasta gold-silver deposit in mid-2026, targeting completion in Q3 2026, supported by metallurgical test work showing over 90% gold and silver recoveries via conventional processing; a parallel 2026 exploration program is testing epithermal and porphyry targets along a 15km structural corridor northwest of the Aurora complex.
Notable vs. Peers
- Financials score of 3/10 is weaker than the peer average of 5.3/10.
Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: mill, grid power.
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
British Columbia: Fraser PPI 2025 is 74.28 of 100 (rank 31 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. British Columbia, Canada — top-tier, low political-risk mining jurisdiction.
Infrastructure (40%)7.1/10
Confirmed road access and a confirmed tailings facility at Greater Shasta-Newberry Project (Shasta Gold-Silver Deposit), Toodoggone District, British Columbia; existing mill and grid power not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No producing mine within 50 km in our reference list (nearest listed: Red Chris (Newmont Corporation / Imperial Metals), 175 km). That list doesn't cover every mining district yet, so a longer distance isn't scored as remote.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Skeena Gold & Silver -- developer of the major Eskay Creek gold-silver project -- has built a cash-and-property stake of roughly 11% in TDG Gold since February 2025, with a board seat and rights to grow to 15%. TDG's own Chairman, Michael Kosowan, has been buying shares steadily on the open market through mid-2026. Small stakes from gold-focused funds like Konwave AG round out the picture, though no fund alone is a dominant signal.
